I really want a map folio, but I don't want to get it and find out that the maps are not the ones I would want. I really would like a list of the places that are included, especially the poster maps. WHat are they.

And are the maps just the maps from the book, or re they larger or something different/

I very much agree with this. There is already a "Guide to Korvosa", so what exactly is included in here?

Most of the maps from the AP are included (though I don't have all the books in front of me to confirm which aren't there) and the poster maps are of Korvosa and Varisia. They are both the same maps that have come out before, but these are not glued into the spine of a book :-D.

Okay, here's a list (PDFs for the win!):

So all I can think of that's missing is:

My copy arrived today and I noticed that the paper quality heavily improved compared to the Rise of the Runelords Map Folio. The sheets seem more stury.

Does anyone know whether this is a permanent improvement? :)

And somehow I hope the Second Darkness Map Folio will not include another map of Varisia ;).

Yes—that's the paper stock we plan to use for folios going forward.

Sorry if I'm late to the party, but are the maps simply all of the maps collected together, or are they "battle maps" that have 1" squares for use with miniatures?

The maps provided in the list above are basically, the map pages from the AP printed separately. The squares are the same size as in the original, so a bit small unless you use matches for miniatures. Of course, they could be scanned and resized to any desired scale.

Just for clarity; the tactical maps are the standard scale of 1/8 inch = 5 ft or so, not miniature play maps of 1 inch = 5 feet?

To owners: Reviews of this product would be very helpful to prospective owners and much appreciated. Thanks.

Try two...

My wife purchased the Folio for me for christmas (she is a genius when it comes to gift giving, unlike her husband). I have to say this product is awesome.

There are only a couple of maps from the series missing (I don't own PF #11 or #12 yet so can't say if any from those mods are missing) I can say that the quality of paper and print is high. I hate flipping back and forth within books to look at the map then at the key, so I usualy just copy the maps, this is no longer an issue. The maps are the same as the ones in the books, same size, look and quality. If you are intending to run CotCT I highly recomend the folio.

The larger Map of Korvosa has been a godsend, the players now have it out when we play and aren't struggling to open the player's guide all the time. The map of Varisia we haven't had need of, yet, but over the long haul, I figure it will get far more use than any of the other maps.

I rate this product very highly.

Thanks, Brutesquad07. At the risk of being a noodge, why not click "Write a Review" (above) and paste 'n' post your comments with a star rating?

I didn't see an answer to this question ... are the location maps illustrative (i.e. 1/8" = 5 ft.), or tactical (1" = 5 ft.)?

Based on what I read, I'd say "illustrative", but I want to be sure.

Are there options to turn on/off the labels for the maps so Player versions can be printed (without labels or more importantly, without Secret door icons!!!).

I assume this would be the case as toggle-able label functionality is the primary reason for this product.

Layers are not implemented in that way, but if your PDF viewer supports image extraction (which, I think, means just about anything *except* Adobe Reader 9 or higher), you can extract the image without the text.

Ah ha! I used to be able to extract images with Adobe Reader but now can't! Thanks for enlightening me! That will help some for certain.

I would still like to suggest you create a standard for your map makers that requires them to place GM info on a separate layer so you can easily create player maps too.
